Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the divisors of larger numbers. To find the factor combinations of the number 330,430,135, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.
We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table. Then, below that, write the numbers as a negative as well.
| 1 | 330,430,135 | |
| -1 | -330,430,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 330,430,135.
Example:
1 x 330,430,135 = 330,430,135
and
-1 x -330,430,135 = 330,430,135
Notice both answers equal 330,430,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 330,430,135 and divide it by 2:
330,430,135 ÷ 2 = 165,215,067.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 165,215,067.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 330,430,135 | |
| -1 | -330,430,135 |
Now, we try dividing 330,430,135 by 3:
330,430,135 ÷ 3 = 110,143,378.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 110,143,378.3333 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 330,430,135 | |
| -1 | -330,430,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
330,430,135 ÷ 4 = 82,607,533.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 82,607,533.75 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 330,430,135 | |
| -1 | 330,430,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 1,277 | 6,385 | 7,393 | 8,939 | 36,965 | 44,695 | 51,751 | 258,755 | 9,440,861 | 47,204,305 | 66,086,027 | 330,430,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -1,277 | -6,385 | -7,393 | -8,939 | -36,965 | -44,695 | -51,751 | -258,755 | -9,440,861 | -47,204,305 | -66,086,027 | -330,430,135 |
